"I wanted to create a mood, something unique." — Jack Spencer
Jack Spencer builds miniature vignettes in his studio to create a sense of an interior and superimposes his recognized photographs through windows and doorways. The resulting worlds transport the viewer just beyond the realm of reality into a surreal world where subjectivity reigns.
